We are market leaders in large scale industrial construction.

About

Britkin is regarded as a market leader in large scale industrial construction.

The growth and sophistication of the primary sector and Britkin Industrial Construction go hand in hand. The company has been at the forefront of food processing and storage facilities including Temperature Controlled Environments – coolstores, packhouses, food processing plants as well as warehouse and loadout canopy facilities.

Siblings Barbara Brittin and Richard Kinnear grew up watching their father Gordon pioneering the establishment of cool store and controlled environment innovations for the meat and fruit sectors. Gordon passed on much of his knowledge and passion for building quality facilities to his children.

Britkin has designed, project managed and built cold storage, warehouse and food processing facilities for many of Hawke’s Bay and New Zealand’s largest primary sector businesses such as Bostock New Zealand, Henderson Road Coolstores and Hill Road. The company has also been involved in the design and build of commercial complexes including administration offices and worker (RSE) accommodation.  

Britkin has well established relationships with a wide range of build partners from designers, structural engineers, Geotech engineers and quality trades businesses.

Services

Design & Build

We know how to design and build industrial and commercial buildings that ensure every square metre of space is optimised for production.

We know how a cool store, a food processing facility, storage facility should operate effectively and efficiently.

This skill comes from many years of experience, both in managing our own facilities as well as building them for others.

Britkin has a ‘A Team’ of designers, consultants, sub-contractors that are all focussed on delivering a quality facility that meets your needs.

Build Project Management

Managing budgets, deadlines and a wide range of sub-contractors are challenges that we enjoy. 

We understand all the detail as well as the curve balls that arise during build projects.

It’s our job to deliver a completed industrial or commercial build project to a high standard, effectively and efficiently.

Costs, consenting and engineering technical requirements can be a mine field and require skills to navigate through – that’s where we stand out.

We have a preferred team of design and engineering consultants but can equally work with any businesses that you an existing and established relationship with.

Financing

Over the years Britkin has invested in large industrial complexes which are leased to food producers. 

We therefore know how to access capital funding to get a project off the ground.

Testimonials

Twin City Aluminium

Britkin Construction built our new factory and offices.  They were amazing to deal with.  Everything felt so easy and stressfree.  They were professional, reliable and there workmanship was great.  We would definitely work with them again.

GEK Management LP

We had the pleasure of working with Richard and his team at Britkin Industrial Construction on the development of our apple coolstore in Irongate, and we couldn’t be more satisfied with the outcome. Throughout the entire project, Richard and his team demonstrated high levels of integrity, making them a team we could fully trust to deliver an exceptional end product for our tenant, in time for the start of the new apple season.  Britkin’s industry knowledge and pragmatic approach was evident at every stage of the build. Their open and responsive communication made it easy to collaborate, ensuring we were always informed, and any concerns were addressed immediately. If you’re looking for a construction partner with experience, reliability, and transparency, we highly recommend Britkin Industrial Construction.
